is this worth the $$ or what?? I'm asking b/c I don't really know much about it and I wanna understand..any help would be great!:thumbsup

i would go with www.candidhosting.com

they're base plan is a little more exspensive than that, but i bet if you get in touch with one of the guys there they can work something out for you :thumbsup

You get what you pay for, spend a little bit more cash and get quality hosting. Cheap hosting almost always sucks ass.

wow 20 gigs of space.. thats a good deal!

thanks guys!! I was wondering if the quality of the hosting is comparable when it comes to price differences??

is it like buying a $20 pair of shoes or $100 pair?? y'know what I mean??

do u get what u pay for??:thumbsup

bump:winkwink:

I'd honestly go with Webair.

Their 9.95 plan is more than enough to start off. 25 gigs of transfer and unlimited domains is a steal for that price.

Their support is awesome too.

You *do* get what you pay for, and even though 40 gigs of bandwith for 4 bucks sounds good, I bet it will crap out when you start nearing those 40 gigs.

thanks for the advice!! does anyone know anyone at webair??:thumbsup

Have a look at the nickel plan at:

Hit me up, we do virtual hosting.

I'll give you a good deal.

Odie having used Ensim I would say pass. You will find many ridiculously low deals like that on Ensim boxes because they can't give that shit away. If you are looking for a host with a control panel, know that Cpanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin, respectively are the top three!

All of our regularly priced shared/virtual plans come with Cpanel and many other extras like Protection against Ddos, DOS, Brute force, Proxy Attacks, Password Trading and robots. On dedicated *nix based boxes you may choose Cpanel or Plesk.

thanks guys for the replies!! I'm going to check out all of them and see what I feel like but I'm leaning one way already..:winkwink:

Odie, those prices you post originally, they are too cheap, with web hosting you really do get what you pay for. Take a look at CybeHost, we can provide the quality of service that you need along with very attractive prices.

I didn't know bandwidth packages came that cheap....

Remmeber some people DO have 100 mbps lines and 300 terrabyte servers. I know of a dc that has vitrtual hosts, they have almost 4,000 terrabytes, theyre on a 100mbps line, and they sell 10 gigs of space and 200 gigs of bw for $49.95 monthly.

People say you get what you pay for, but not always, these guys kill in pure numbers, they arent kids renting a dedicated somewhere hoping that theyll make sales, these guys OWN the dc.

Just my :2 cents:

But yes Odie, what you posted, they are overselling, it's when they have no server space really, theyre trying to make a fast buck, so they make promises they HOPE no one will ever use.
